I hate Developing! Developing is not the most favorite thing in the world but I totally love the outcome of it and the challenge. I know I wrote about how much the rails community sucks but at the same time they don’t. They have pushed me into a different level of programming. It’s a major challenge now for me and I am loving it!
I was having some major problems with tagging, uploading and a login system but eventually I figured it all out. This past weekend I figured out how to integrate tagging and uploading to my web applications and today I got the login system dialed out 
.
Before Rails I was coding in PHP and after that I started working with CakePHP which is built around the same idea as Rails but with PHP. CakePHP is great but the documentation and the lack of resources/examples really frowns down on it. They had a book deal and it feel thru which sucks because it would have really strengthened the CakePHP community. I am kinda thankful though that the book didn’t go thru just because I would still be struggling with CakePHP where with Rails I am already doing things I couldn’t imagine doing with CakePHP.
So … I love developing even more now because of Rails! Thanks Rails and the community 
.
On a side note the Rails Community still sucks too many big heads

I can’t believe how hard it is to get a question answered. The Rails community is like the hardest I have ever experienced in getting a response to one of my questions. David Heinemeier Hansson should really do something about it … like make a public note or letter out to everyone that knows rails to help fellow developers … it’s not always about making a profit people you can help people out and still make money.
One of the reasons why I moved to Rails is because of the great documentation but the community just sucks at helping each other out … it only seems they help each other if they know each other or they have heard of the person before. I am a n00b at Rails right now, how in the hell am I going to get known if I can’t even complete a web application because no one wants to help me.
God it’s frustrating!
Small edit: What I mean by documentation is that there are more books on Ruby on Rails then there are for other frameworks like for example CakePHP and Synfony.

I got a few emails asking me how I did it. So why not do a HOWTO on the site right?
It’s pretty simple but I have yet to see a howto on this at least one that goes from start to end. I thought I do it even at the risk of repeating someone else instructions. I know I will have these here for myself and anyone else that might need to know how to do it.
First make sure you have the latest firmware for your Nokia N800. Now I did this on a N800 I have never touched a N770 but I am sure if you have the hacked 2007 OS then this howto will apply for that as well. So you will need the latest IT OS 2007. Read more…

About 4 days ago I managed installing Ruby on Rails on my Nokia N800 … this is great! I can now develop my app ANYWHERE I go and even run tests on it . Now only if the browser that came with the Nokia N800 was a little bitty more up to date so I can run proper AJAX calls, but that is okay because this is better then me not doing anything.
So Develop Rails and read about rails all on the go … AWESOME!

Yup that’s right I am finally going to put up some videos :). One is an updated version to my Accordion HowTo and another is going to be how to add those cool tip pop-ups and I might do one on how to combine them … I am still thinking about that one just because I am not sure if it would make sense to. In anycase I will have them up shortly I am gathering my old project files and updating them to reflect Mootools 1.1.
I have learned a lot from my first video and all the comments I got. I hope these next two videos will be able to help as many people as the first one did.
What’s planned after these two videos? I might do a howto on cakephp or Ruby on Rails. Still thinking about it. I like showing people how to do stuff though not only do I help people learn it but t helps me learn it as well .
